Jason Castro extended his hitting streak to eight games, going 1-for-3 with his 34th double of the season.

The reigning AL Player of the Week drove in the Astros’ first run with a double to center.

He is hitting .360 (27-for-75) with a .479 on-base percentage during his streak.

Wallace connects a couple times

Brett Wallace saw the ball quite well on Thursday night, but he had to settle for a 1-for-4 performance with a home run. He also drilled a shot 400 feet to straightaway center field for a line out with two men on in the sixth inning.

“We had a few opportunities to get some runs there,” he said. “In those situations, you have to do everything you can to try to get the guys in. You have to tip your cap to them because they made some good pitches when they had to. A couple opportunities that we left out there, and those are the ones that you can’t give away.”
